MEDIA DAY VIDEO: Interviews from YES Network special

Nets public relations personnel on Monday were shuttling players between the Media Interview Room where beat and national writers took the measure of veteran and newcomer alike and the HSS practice courts where the YES Network’s Bob Lorenz and Frank Isola anchored a live two-hour special.

Sean Marks who faced the media in a press conference six days ago also talked with Lorenz and Isola. In his interview, Marks confirmed what many, including NetsDaily have reported: that the Nets never had interest in Damian Lillard who is now a Milwaukee Buck. “He’s an amazing player,” said the Nets GM. “But you’ve also got to look at what fits long-term.”
